in a rich country…
You know you’re in a country with far too much wealth when:
- you can walk up to a cafe and order a triple shot skinny soy latte with caramel, or a hundred other similarly whimsical permutation of coffee.
- you find soyghurt, yes, you read right, soyghurt (that’s yoghurt made with soya milk) on the supermarket shelves.
- milk comes in a zillion varieties: full fat, light, lighter, white coloured water, soy, lactose-free, vitamin-enriched, added minerals etc. etc.
- salad vegetables are washed, pre-cut and packed in sealed plastics for sale on supermarket shelves.
- meat is sold sliced and diced for easy cooking.
- many people choose to become vegans and vegetarians not because of religious considerations but because of health, political, and other such personal criteria.
